My research interests lie at the intersection of innovation and healthcare. I work with Dr. Xiaowei Li and Dr. Justin M. Sacks to create novel devices for tissue regeneration and vascular anastomosis. These devices utilize unique polymer synthesis and peptide conjugation to promote optimal healing conditions for relevant tissues. Ultimately, these devices are tested in small animal rat models and then translated to large study pig trials, with the goal of conducting human trials.
